Programs/Standards

Wisconsin Ag Performance Standards establishes polluted runoff performance standards for agricultural facilities and practices, as well as non-agricultural practices. These standards are intended to be the minimum requirements to protect water quality.

This program offers Federal and State incentive payments to eligible landowners to install vegetative buffers along stream corridors. Landowners have the option of a 15-year agreement or a permanent easement.

This program helps provide funding to support land and water conservation staffing and expenditures. In addition, funds are used to cost-share agreements with landowners for the installation of conservation practices.
